Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas was named rookie of the week.

White averaged 24.3 points, six rebounds, 5.3 assists and three steals per game in home-court upsets of UNC and Boston College and an overtime road loss to the Deacons. She scored a career-high 33 points in the regular-season finale at Wake on Sunday.

Over the span she was 35-for-45 at the free-throw line, hitting a school-record 17 of 18 in the Wake game.

White also won the season's first conference player of the week honor in November.
